themselves by having overgrown facial hair. He cannot recall if any of the residents ADLs had been
skipped.
Interview on 09/19/23 at 5:10pm with CNA B revealed the CNAs were responsible to help the residents with
ADL care such as trimming their nails and shaving them if they prefer to have no facial hair. She stated she
could not recall any residents on her hall that had unkept nails or facial hair. She stated they checked them
on shower days and as needed if the resident requests a trimming. She stated she was unsure why
Residents #1, #2, and #3 did not get their facial hair trimmed or their nails. She was also unaware of
Resident #2's preference for being bald. Some negative outcomes of not trimming their nails or facial hair
could be getting germs under the nails or in the beard if food gets in it and it looks bad for the family to see
them like that and could impact their dignity.
Interview on 09/19/23 at 05:55pm with CNA C revealed that the CNAs are responsible to keep up with the
residents ADLs which includes trimming their nails and facial hair. If they felt uncomfortable with either of
them then the CNAs can ask the nurse for help. He stated he could not recall Resident #1, #2, or #3 asked
for assistance with trimming their facial hair or nails. He could not recall if they had preferences on how to
keep their facial hair and nails. He stated their facial hair trim and nail trim may have been missed during
their shower days. He stated if their hair grows fast then they should shave them as needed and on shower
days. If that gets missed it could pose a risk of infection for the residents. The last in-service on ADL care
he received was within the last week.
Interview on 09/19/23 at 6:11pm with LVN D revealed that the CNAs do the ADL care on shower days and
as needed. The ADL care included nail trimming and facial hair. Their ADLs were provided according to
their preferences, if they liked a clean-shaved face then that was what the staff would provide. The nurses
were responsible to ensure that the ADL care was provided properly. He stated Residents #1 and #2 were
not resistant to care but Resident #3 at times refused his shower days. He stated Residents #1, #2, and #3
were not resistant to having their nails trimmed or facial hair trimmed. He was not aware of Resident #2s
preference to be bald but stated he had only seen him with hair recently within the last month, and in the
past, he had maintained having no hair. The harm that could come from them not trimming their nails or
facial hair could be accidentally injuring themselves by scratching and facial hair could be uncomfortable to
the resident if they were not used to it or like it long. He stated his last ADL training was last week.
Interview on 09/19/23 at 6:32pm with the Activities Director revealed she does an activity called pretty nails.
It was for residents who want their nails painted. She does not provide ADL care to the residents with this
activity, she stated she would shape the nails if needed and clean them to prepare for the polish. She could
not recall Resident #3 asking to participate in the pretty nails activity.
Interview on 09/19/23 at 6:38pm with the DON revealed her expectation was to provide ADL care to
residents per their needs and wants. She stated the nurses should check to ensure the ADLs were
completed by the CNAs, along with herself and other administrative nursing staff. She stated today and the
previous day she had noticed a few residents whose ADL care was not completed and requested it be
done. She was not sure why the ADL care was not being completed, and stated it was an area that could
be improved. She stated that she did notice the need for more education on ADL care specific to facial hair
and nail care. The harm to residents could be not feeling good about themselves.
Interview on 09/19/23 at 7:13pm with the Administrator revealed his expectation with ADL care was that it
was done and done with the care of the resident's comfort in mind, this included nail

trimming and facial hair trimming. ADL care was overseen by the DON and during daily rounds of the
administrative nursing staff. He could not recall why the ADLs were missed and stated it would improve with
more education for the staff. If the residents did not receive the proper grooming it could cause many issues
including residents' rights.

residents who are unable to carry out activities of daily living independently will receive the services
necessary to maintain good nutrition, grooming and personal and oral hygiene.
